Why are things never easy?

edited May 2014 in TTC after 35
Crap...positive OPK this morning. I was supposed to trigger tonight and IUI Saturday. Now they are saying no trigger and IUI tomorrow.

I never had success until we added the trigger...even though I ALWAYS got + OPK's...timing just never was right.
I asked if I can take the trigger today and still IUI tomorrow, nurse said they have never done that, but she is asking the RE.

What would you do? Trigger anyways, even if he says it is not needed? I know the trigger does help give the follies a final boost, and since I had one that was not quite mature at  yesterdays scan (18mm and 15.5mm E2 748) that boost could help (I did get my two final doses of gonal f in...last night and early this morning thankfully). 

I am leaning towards taking it anyway...I know my RE does IUI's 36 hours after trigger, but I do know other ladies RE's do it 24 hours after...so it can't hurt right?

    I would do whatever you RE advises you to do... If you are unsure about the implications I would not do it.

    The nurse just called back, he said to go ahead and take the trigger! He probably did it just to placate me, but that is OK LOL. IUI tomorrow at 10am!

    Good luck!!  I hope this is the one! 

    I had something similar. I took an OPK test yesterday and it was positive, days before we thought I'd be near ovulation. I went in yesterday for an ultrasound/lab work and they told me to do the trigger last night even though it looked like I would ovulate on my own. They told me the trigger gives it a little extra boost but it also helps to stabilize the uterine lining, which would help with implantation.

    Thanks everyone!

    I am worried about timing, but the RE assured me we are good...and that I more than likely had 2 mature follies! We shall see I guess...

    I had 11 million live and swimming after prep for my IUI this morning...standard for donor sperm. Fingers crossed ;)
